Putting files copies them from the local site to the remote site without changing the file's checked in or checked out status. If you want to put a file on a remote server and check it in, use the Check In command. See Checking out and checking in files on a remote server.
Dreamweaver records all file transfer activity. If an error occurs when you are transferring a file, the Site FTP log can help you debug the problem. To display the log, from the Site window choose Window > FTP log.
Note: Do not use high high ASCII characters in the filenames of files you intend to put on a remote server. Many servers will convert these characters on upload and cause any links to the files to break.
